Model 1913 Cavalry Saber
The Model 1913 Cavalry Sword, commonly referred to as the Patton Saber, was a cavalry sword designed for the U.S. Army by Second Lieutenant (later General) George S. Patton Jr. in 1913. Patton suggested the revision from a curved cutting sword to a straight thrusting sword style of attack, following his extensive training in France. It had a large, basket-shaped hilt mounting a straight, double-edged, thrusting blade designed for use by light cavalry. This weapon, the last sword issued to U.S. cavalry, was never used as intended. At the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War I, several American cavalry units armed with sabers were sent to the front, but they were held back. The character of war had changed, making horse-mounted troops easy prey for enemy troops equipped with Gewehr 98 rifles and Maschinengewehr 08 machine guns. Cavalrymen who saw combat did so dismounted, using their horses only to travel, similar to mounted infantry. History The saber is traditionally ...

Patton Seamount
Patton Seamount is a prominent seamount ( underwater volcano) in the Cobb–Eickelberg Seamount chain in the Gulf of Alaska. Located east of Kodiak Island and reaching to within of the ocean surface, Patton is one of the largest seamounts in the Cobb–Eickelberg Seamount chain. It was originally created near the coast of Oregon by the Cobb hotspot 33 million years ago and was moved to its present location by tectonic plate movement. Patton is one of the most well-understood seamounts, as a major expedition using ''DSV Alvin'' in 1999 and another in 2002 helped define the scope of the seamount's biological community. Like other large seamounts, Patton acts as an ecological hub for sea life. Dives have revealed that the volcano is heavily encrusted in sea life of various forms, including sea stars, corals, king crabs, demersal rockfish, and other species.
